Default best brake shop near Danbury

It's time for brakes, I'm near Danbury should I just goto Colonial (the dealer) or is there a better spot to go? Also interested in getting a rear sway bar installed (recommendations on brand / model highly appreciated ... i'm only street driver, but i drive hard).

Stealership will likely kill you on brakes. Wait for locals to recommend shop. What are you trying to do with a rear sway bar? I would read more on it before you change anything. There are a few good threads on it here. After that contact CSG, RCE or other vendors who track and know plenty about sways.

I feel the back almost give out when hard cornering. I don't know much about cars, I'm fine w that, but I thought this would help, because slowing down isn't an option lolol.

If the back is almost giving out that is oversteer which is a fun thing if controlled. Going to a bigger bar in the rear will increase this. Going to a bigger bar in the front will get you more understeer, but that is also not good. You want a balanced car. Tires and suspension matter too. I would contact vendors and even ask EFI before you touch that bar.
